Buck,
Excellent Point! It is up to them to learn RDI, if they want to learn it.
I hear all the excuses, such as "Only if RDI worked this way..." As if I can control how Eclipse/RDi works...
I always appreciate your responses on this list...
I cannot change the Non-believers of RDI. It only leads to frustration and game over.
If I run into a problem with RDI, a simply 10-second restart usually fixes all. And it teaches me patience!
Thanks again.
PS. Thank goodness for snickers bars, they turn me back to normal over little RDi quirks. That are make no sense in get my underwear in knot! <LOL>
I have been able to convert a few, but they were extremely open and willing to learn...

All the "Newbies" that I show "shortcut keys", don't like it.
I cannot seem to find the right-click menu options for ALT+S (split)
and/or Alt+J(Join)
I'm not a mouser, so if there ever were context options for that I wouldn't know.
I'm no longer an RDi missionary. I don't go office to office loading it, setting up connexions and filters, making a custom setup for each 'newbie'. I don't do lunch and learn sessions to show newbies the myriad things RDi can do (like split/join) that SEU cannot do at all [1].
I gave that up.
Do you know why?
Because they like SEU. They actually like it. They tend to feel embarrassed about it, and so they cobble together excuses as to why they just _can't_ switch.
The 'shortcut keys hurt my brain' excuse is the one that ultimately did me in. I mean, think about it: There's no power on earth that is going to convince a man WHO USES SHORTCUT KEYS IN SEU to switch to RDi when his insurmountable objection is -- get this -- that RDi USES SHORTCUT KEYS.
Game over man. Game over. Use SEU in peace. Truly, he's already found enlightenment; he's in his happiest place already, and bless him for being able to recognise it.
Very frustration to show newbies, and just have to say it is "buggy"
all the time...
<Big Frown>
You're not in marketing, are you? ;-)
[1] I know, I wrote a user-exit program that does split/join in SEU.
I'm comparing 'out of the box' SEU to 'out of the box' RDi.
